Prototype generic methods #138

Closed RangelReale closed 5 months ago

RangelReale commented 5 months ago

I created this PR with some prototype generic methods, so we don't need to pre-create the slices or output structs, which is done most of the times.

I just added functions with "Type" suffixes and a type parameter, this is not a final PR, just to open discussions about the viability and usefulness of it.

Hi, thank you for submitting this pull request. In my opinion, the benefits these methods provide don't justify the complication of the library's API

RangelReale commented 5 months ago

Yes I think so too, until Go have separate type parameters for struct methods, there's no way of doing a good generic API.
